The car had 11 1/2 months MOT on it when I bought it.
It had been over here since 6 months old,so had seen a fair few of our winters I think!
The scary thing is these rot around the rear x-member/diff mounting points,as you can see in the pics above.
Someone had stuck a plate over a hole in the chassis with silicone then undersealed over the top of it!!!!
One thing to be aware of is freshly undersealed Evos,seems alot of owners just fire underseal over rust.

Anyway I broke the above Evo and bought a nice very low mileage VI shell,and its currently looking like this:
